I purchased a used ALH longblock engine and it does not have a timing belt due to no injection pump on the engine, which is not at TDC based on the #1 cam lobes pointing down, and also there is no flywheel or transmission (I am upgrading to an 02M transmission with a Sachs PD dual mass flywheel/clutch assembly from Dutch Auto Parts, and have it on an engine stand derusting, painting, and replacing the hard coolant line seal, etc.
This is a new experience for me (though done a number of timing belts and have all the tools). Do I transfer my 11mm Injection pump along with the accessory bracket from my old ALH engine to the new to me engine, add a Timing Belt and turn it to TDC once I attach the flywheel, clutch and 02M transmission? I have only had single mass flywheels in the past, so also need to be sure I am following the correct procedure for that installation as well, such as in my Mk4 Bentley Manual, assuming all the details are in there? Also, should I replace the input and output shaft seals on the 02M as well and anything else to do before installing the 02M tranny? Thanks for your help, just don't want to screw anything up as it has been a 3 year journey to start this project.
